If I was the sunAnd you were the rainThen maybe I'd seeWhy we can't meet againIf I were born freeAnd you were in chainsThen I'd understandAll of this hurt and pain

Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy meWhoa, ho, oh sweet mercy meI thought we were two hands working as oneI thought it was love but it had never begun

If you were my prideAnd I was your shameThen maybe I'd remember to forget your nameAnd if love was a lieAnd it hid from the truthThen I'd understandWhy I'm so lost to you

Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy meWhoa, ho, oh sweet mercy meI thought we were two hands working as oneI thought it was love but it had never begun

If I were a rebelAnd you were my causeWould I still love you with all of your flawsYes I am a rebelAnd you are my causeAnd I still love youMy darling of course

Whoa, ho, oh sweet mercy meWhoa, ho, oh sweet mercy meI thought we were two hands working as oneI thought it was love but it had never begunI thought we were two hands beating in timeOh tell me when will your love ever be mineI thought we were two hands working as oneI thought it was love but it had never begun
